Chapter 43: The Secret
Taishi Zhao started to sleep first, and he didn't know when he became a real sleep.
Fortunately, he usually doesn't sleep much, and when he woke up, it was not yet dark, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still sitting on the chair, looking indifferent, only half of the fruit in the fruit bowl.
He can really eat such a mediocre fruit.
His students never disdained to eat such things, and he only needed blood pomegranates that were sent eight hundred miles on the post road......
Taishi pretended to have just woken up, and said in a daze: "What time is it?" ”
The prince said: "Commander, it's almost noon!" ”
He spoke in a different tone, gentle and humble.
Taishi Zhao stood up tremblingly and stretched: "It's time to eat...... Has Your Highness eaten? ”
Of course I didn't eat it.
I came early in the morning, and I didn't go to my hot mom to say goodbye.
So he ate half a plate of fruit regardless of his image, but unfortunately it was not a problem at all.
Since Taishi Zhao has issued an eviction order, then he should go-this old man has too many scenes, and it is difficult to deal with, and it is estimated that the dead skin and face will not work well.
You can still eat when you go back, and you won't have food here!
Bo Lingjun stood up and saluted, and said, "Teacher, please eat, the student has taken his leave...... Come back tomorrow! ”
Taishi Zhao let out a series of coughs, but did not say welcome or unwelcome.
He raised his hand and beckoned two maids to hold him, and sent the prince to the door in a flicker......
After His Royal Highness left, as soon as the door of the Taishi's Mansion was closed, Taishi Zhao shook off the hands of the maids and rushed to the study like a gust of wind-
He was looking for a book - eighteen years ago, when the living order to record the emperor's diet and daily life was abolished, he happened to be an official who revised the edict, so he risked killing his head and spent a lot of money to buy the last batch of "Living Notes", and he didn't know how important this thing was at that time, he probably just wanted to get a glimpse of the daily life of the emperor's family, so as to use it as material for writing history books in the future.
I didn't read a few pages when I bought it, and I didn't think it was enough.
The records are too detailed, and there is a feeling of running accounts.
And it's not first-hand information, it's all been fried, and a lot of secrets are covered up by illusions.
People who write history are very sensitive, and they can see false embellishments at a glance - history is like this, using facts as the skeleton and building on the conjectures of historians of the past as the tendon.
But "Living Note" is different, it uses falsehood as the skeleton, builds more false conjectures, and looks like a ghost on the whole!
Taishi Zhao commanded his servants to move open five or six large bookcases, only to see the treasure that had been abandoned by himself.
He withdrew from the crowd and plunged headlong into the boring and false living notes, and after half an hour he found the book and turned the page.
There are only a few words in the record, but it is true at a glance: "At the beginning of September in the twenty-second year of the Holy Sect, Queen Cheng gave birth to a son, and the emperor gave the name Lingjun, the word leap nine, for the eldest prince."
On the surface, it seems that it is only a record of the queen giving birth to the crown prince, but when you look closely, it is unusual.
In particular, the name "leap nine" - the prince was born on the ninth day of the ninth month of September, but leap nine does not mean double nine, in the emperor's house, leap is an unlucky word, "leap position", "leap system" all refer to the unorthodox imperial throne, to give a emperor's eldest son the name "leap", it is very undesirable.
My own students must also mind, so I never use the self-title of "leap nine" in the school.
Zhao Taishi boldly guessed: something must have happened at that time, which caused the emperor to feel very unlucky, but after all, the prince was his own flesh and blood, so he had to accept this son and give him a very unlucky name to offset the bad luck brought by his birth.
Even so, the emperor disliked this prince very much, and since he was born, the emperor and queen who were originally perfect have become strangers.
Not only that, but His Majesty also recruited a harem, branched out, and added nine princesses at the rate of one baby a year after the age of more than fifty...... It's a pity that it's all princesses!
Master Zhao looked at it for a moment, and the truth gradually emerged.
The emperor was old and had children, but he was neither happy nor satisfied, probably because he was afraid of answering the sentence:
The twin emperors' families, the country is broken, and the people mourn!
If the emperor's family has twins, it means that it is not far from the collapse of the country and the change of dynasty.
The most terrible thing is that the empress gave birth to twins, and the emperor has no heirs.
This is like a terrible curse hanging over the emperor's head, killing him, the country will fall, not killing, and he is afraid that the country will be destroyed by his hands.
Thinking of this, it is logical that the emperor has a lot of operations.
On the surface, he connived at the crown prince in every way, but in fact he tolerated and nurtured the traitor, and used a bunch of bad things to imprison him firmly in the East Palace, leaving him without allies, division commanders, and even a subordinate loyal to him.
On the other hand, he subtly weakened the power of the queen's family - in less than ten years, the first-class magnate Cheng family in the Taizu period slipped from the first-class to the fifth-rate, and after the death of Cheng Taigong, the emperor divided the hereditary title equally among the two brothers of the Cheng family under the guise of fairness, and finally could be able to empty the family of the upcoming marquis into an empty burden......
Not long ago, Guo Guifei was pregnant, and this was originally the news in the palace - the concubine was pregnant, and she was not allowed to say it in less than three months, because she was afraid that the fetus would be unstable and the emperor's heir would not succeed.
However, the news leaked out somehow, and the emperor stepped up the time to raise Guo Guifei's mother's family, and suddenly Guo Guifei's brother was directly named one of the Shaofu of the Nine Qings from the sixth-level lord, and the original Shaofu was the son-in-law of Zuo Xiang Huo Tong, the noble son of the Meng family, who was thirty-six years old, and was forced to return to his hometown and go home to farm!
It's really impatient - it can be seen how scared the emperor is.
He has been in poor health for the past two years, and gradually showed that the strength of the old man is inadequate, maybe he feels that death is imminent!
Thinking of this, Taishi Zhao was excited.
In the midst of a chaotic crisis, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
Although that person looks exactly like the original prince, he is completely different.
He is patient and smart.
I don't know if it's good or evil in my bones.
In fact, it doesn't matter if it's good or evil, the emperor doesn't have to be kind, as long as he has a pair of keen eyes, a pair of ears that can read a hundred words, and can firmly do what he must do!
Zhao Taishi's heart suddenly throbbed like a teenager.
There are two paths in front of us, and you must make a choice.
After a moment's thought, he decided to take a gamble with the ancient curse.
He wrote history all his life, watched the change of dynasties, and delved into the causes and consequences - not believing in evil.
All great things are the result of human struggle, although the factor of luck is also very important, but if there is no hard work, you are not even qualified to join the gambling game.
Although he is seventy-two years old, he is still in good health, and he feels that he still has ten years to fight.
has been in officialdom for so many years, is used to seeing all kinds of characters, and has experienced all kinds of strange things, but he boasts that he still has a good vision.
Of course, luck was good.
Otherwise, with the humble background of his ancestors, he would not have had the opportunity to enter the officialdom and serve the emperor at all!
Of course, before that, he has to take a good look at the "prince"!
A good teacher does not have high requirements for students, as long as he can listen to words and has a motivated heart, it doesn't matter if he is stupid, and being smart is the icing on the cake!
Mrs. Zhao felt that she would be a good teacher!
A good teacher who can teach a generation of Mingjun.
Of course, he will also become the minister of the humerus of a generation of Ming Jun!
At this age, I have everything, and the only hope in my heart is to write a history book...... A stroke of color!
